A one day course focusing on imagery and detailing of colour onto the 3 dimensional surface of a glass blown vessel. In the morning you will have the opportunity to blow your own piece of 'flash' (additional layer of colour) glass. You will then be introduced to the sandblaster and will create your own stencil designs to use as a resist. After sandblasting through your stencils onto pre-made glass 'eggs' you will then heat them up and blow into a vessel. We will also look at the art of rolling molten glass onto glass powders to pick up a design.
